A small orbital research station studying both the planet below and the surrounding nebula, Sotra was built in 2389 as the last funded Starfleet venture into the region. It was resupplied by Civilians, contracted by the Federation, for over 2 years until the Constitution arrived in 2391. A series of incidents exposed the nature of the facility and just what went on there. A small Starfleet force was left behind on the station after the Constitution departed. | |[[File:Observatory.jpg|x150px]] | ||

** '''2389''' At the insistence of the Federation Science Council, the Sotra Orbital Research was established to study the planet below and to map the surrounding nebula. It was placed under the purview of Dr. Morley Rin and Dr. Aralo Onil, each taking charge of one side of the mission. | |||
** '''2391''' Against Starfleet protocol, the scientists remained sequestered for over 2 years before the USS Constitution was assigned to resupply the station instead of the usual civilian freighter. While there, the true nature of the station was discovered. | |||
:A small orbital research station studying both the planet below and the surrounding nebula, Sotra was built in 2389 as the last funded Starfleet venture into the region. It was resupplied by Civilians, contracted by the Federation, for over 2 years until the Constitution arrived in 2391. A series of incidents exposed the nature of the facility and just what went on there. The planet and surrounding space were host to energy beings that let a strange disease loose first aboard the station and then the Constitution. This led to a violent outbreak of hallucinations that turned some officers against one another and incapacitated a great many more. The situation was solved at the last minute by the sacrifice of Dr. Rin. A small Starfleet force was left behind on the station after the Constitution departed to monitor the situation. | |||

* '''Gurab II''': | |||
** '''2375''' The Colony of Gurab II is established as a civilian outpost and the start of meaningful Romulan interests in the Avalon Sector. | |||
** '''2380''' A secret Tal-Shiar weapons facility is built on Gurab II, not far from the settlement. | |||
** '''2391''' Acting on orders supplied by Starfleet (later discovered to be a rogue faction) Captain Tyr Waltas and his crew are tasked with destroying Gurab II and their weapons research facility. Mutiny ensues over these orders. | |||
:A Romulan world that housed a weapons research facility, Gurab II was the site of a high profile incident in 2389 when the USS Discovery-C was allegedly tasked with destroying the facility and the surrounding colony. A mutiny ensued over Starfleet orders, led by Commander Raj Blueheart and Hsina Aman. Eventually it was discovered that advanced weaponry did in fact exist on Gurab II, but a more surgical solution was devised by Lieutenant Commander John Valdiva, preventing a loss of Romulan lives. This incident, never the less, caused a scandal in the Federation and the populace remains divided on the issue years later. Over the next few months, Starfleet began to withdraw from the region entirely. The incident at Gurab in collusion with the incident involving the Daris II virus, lead to the resignation of Captain Tyr Waltas and the decommissioning of the Discovery-C in early 2391. | |||
